Blaise Chatigny just ripped a three-under 32 at Brookside Golf Club, leading the Sandwich Blue Knights to their eighth consecutive win and earning his fourth medalist showing of the week. Yeah, you heard that right, his fourth! The kid is absolutely lights out right now, and the Blue Knights are just steamrolling everyone on the course.
Chatigny’s Unstoppable Run Leads Sandwich Surge
What Chatigny is doing for Sandwich golf is simply unreal. That 3-under 32 wasn’t some fluke; it was a pure clinic that cemented his fourth medalist title in Week 5 alone. The Blue Knights, now sitting at a dominant 12-1, owe a huge chunk of their eight-game win streak to his consistent brilliance. But it wasn’t a one-man show, obviously. Anderson Lauf chipped in a solid 37, Bradley Moesman posted a 38, Owen Labelle had a 40, and both Sam Konary (43) and Matt Tokla (44) contributed to that impressive 234 team total against Bourne.
Over on the Bourne side, the Canalmen (8-5) had their own moments. Cole Thomas was their low card with a three-over 38. Charlie Seitz (41) and Ronan Kelly (42) played well. And get this: Bourne rolled out three freshmen for the first time this season! Jack Foley, making his varsity debut, settled in after a couple of holes to birdie twice and finish with a 43. Jackson Mark was steady with a 42, and Ben Hamblin posted a 49 in just his second match. That’s some serious young talent getting reps.
Soccer Pitches Explode with Drama and Streaks
It wasn’t just golf that brought the heat this week; the soccer pitches were wild. On the girls’ side, Martha’s Vineyard pulled off a clutch 1-0 shutout win over Falmouth. Iyla Story was the hero, bagging the game’s only goal thanks to an assist from Maple Martone. The Vineyarders are now 4-3-0. Unfortunately, the Rising Tide Mariners took a tough 7-0 blanking from Falmouth Academy, bringing their record to 1-3-1. But the Sandwich Blue Knights, man, they’re on a roll, snatching their sixth straight win with a 4-1 victory over Nantucket. That win snapped the Whalers’ own three-match streak, showing the Blue Knights (7-1-0) mean business.
Then there was the boys’ soccer. Martha’s Vineyard and Falmouth locked up in a defensive showcase, ending in a 0-0 draw. The Vineyarders are now 4-1-2 and the Clippers 6-2-2. West Bridgewater edged out Bourne 3-2; Myach Hingston and Frank Greul, who scored an absolute screamer with a volley from 40 yards that found the top corner, provided the goals for Bourne. James Kirby even notched an assist there! The Canalmen are 2-5-1. St. John Paul II Lions (4-3-2) are in a tough spot, falling to their third straight defeat after an unbeaten run came to an end, losing 2-1 to Archbishop Williams. Elie Youssef scored their lone goal, assisted by Eli Bassil, with Quinn Dillon and Migy Armaczuk putting in strong shifts in midfield. Rising Tide Mariners are still hunting for their first win, falling 4-1 to Falmouth Academy; they’ve only scored two goals all season, tough luck for them at 0-3-0. And big ups to Nantucket boys, who took down Sandwich 2-0 for their fourth straight win, pushing the Blue Knights to a winless 0-6-0. Sturgis West dominated Sturgis East 5-1 in a rivalry match, the Navigators are looking good at 5-1-0.
Nauset Golf Suffers Another Heartbreaking Loss
Let’s circle back to the golf course for a minute, because Nauset had a brutal week. Just one day after falling to Sandwich by a single shot, they faced Martha’s Vineyard on Friday, and the drama was insane. Martha’s Vineyard clinched a three-shot victory that came down to the seventh score to stay in the hunt for a piece of the Cape and Islands League Atlantic Division regular season championship. Shane Harding and Chander Blau each carded 41s, Jacoby Light and Peter Williamson had 42s, and Jake Gatchell and Ben Kokoszka matched with 43s. It was Gusto Martone’s 46 that proved to be the difference after both teams were tied at 252 at Vineyard Golf Club.
Oliver Smith, for Nauset, earned medalist honors with a two-over 38, and Owen Everson (39) was the only other Nauset golfer under 40. Jacob Campbell and Hudson Cole shot 42s, Mac Heinz (45) and Blake Silvestri (46) factored in, but Jack Pavlu’s 49 fell three strokes short of Martha’s Vineyard’s critical seventh score. That’s a gut-punch loss that Nauset, and their fans I bet, are definitely feeling.
What a week of high school action! Blaise Chatigny and the Sandwich golf team are absolutely on a tear, showing everyone what consistent performance looks like. The soccer teams gave us everything from nail-biting draws to commanding shutouts and some serious goal-scoring magic. As we look ahead, the big question is whether Sandwich golf can keep that insane winning streak alive, and who’s going to step up next week to challenge these dominant teams. You just gotta love this level of competition!
